Cardiff vs Wolves predictions for Today

Championship is really boiling up now and this promises to be a cracking game as both sides look to take another step in the direction of the top flight. Wolves are within touching distance already and victory for them at the Cardiff City Stadium would do everything but guarantee themselves Premier League football next term.

However were the Bluebirds to win, they’d suddenly be just 3 points off the West Midlands side with a game in hand and we’d have a real title race on. Cardiff won at Molineux earlier in the campaign but they still start this game as slight underdogs with the bookies despite home advantage.

While both have been hugely successful this term, their methods have been very different. Wolves have played some of the best passing football that the Championship has ever seen and are blessed with some very talented young players in the likes of Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota. Cardiff are a less technically gifted side but they are a very strong, athletic outfit throughout the team and have overpowered many a Championship team already this term.

Wolves also slipped up in their last game, drawing 2-2 at home to Hull. However crucially they have Ruben Neves and Matt Doherty back from bans here and that’s a major boost to their midfield. They’ve also looked more vulnerable defensively as the finish-line has neared with 4 of their last 5 matches seeing both teams score while they’ve conceded twice or more in 4 of their last 8.

Both teams have plenty of attacking threats though and we should see a pretty even contest with chances at each end so going for Both Teams to Score looks like a good plan here.
